Kingdom of Mercia (Age of Charlemagne) Civil Tier 12

Single Currency

English coins appears to have been minted from about AD600, at least according to carbon-dating performed on the treasure hoard found at Sutton Hoo in 1939. Prior to this, the fledgling English used a system based on, and using coins from, Merovingian Frankish currency. In particular, the 'tremisses' - valued at a third of a gold solidus - was used extensively until the late 7th century AD, when the advent of the silver standard created the English 'sceat'. Sceat were small, thick coins made entirely of silver, and decorated with a wide variety of impressive artworks of Celtic, Germanic and pagan designs, like animals, crosses and many scenes of nature.
